I wrote 3 lines when 2 lines were provided, is this bad?

Members don't see this ad.

I just got supplemental application from VCU.
It asks me a question and there are 2 lines provided.
However, my answer was too long to fit in 2 lines so it basically became 3 line long answer when 3rd line doesn't exist.

I know that I made a mistake but it's already too late.

Do you guys think this can hurt my chance because they want me to be concise?

Some of my friends say it's not a big deal.
Some people say it's a big deal.
Some says just ace the interview and they don't really care about this, look at the big picture....etc.

I think they are used to it. I think they will either not notice because they barely skim our answers or they will get a bit annoyed because you didn't follow the rules.

Some also think that some applicants over analyze everything!! If it's done, it's done, don't worry about it. There are way more important things that they care about that they seriously won't even think about why you wrote three lines of answer when there was only space for two. Don't worry!!

Yes, you tried plugging a square into a circle. Youre not gonna put a molar implant onto an anterior tooth are you?
